Added gorg guide to our stuff, after finding the raw unformatted text in the cached interwebs. neysx's site is down, and this stuff is too valuable to lose. i rewrote the guideXML and cleaned it up where necessary. inspired by bug 317609.

Removed sparc quickinstall guide. i tried updating it, but it was so horribly old, out-of-date, and noncompliant that it's better to just kick it out entirely. perhaps i'll write one in the future that's similar to the x86 quickinstall. also removed the reference to it in the sparc proj pages. the thing was ancient and broken; it needd to go.

thorough overhaul of the openbox guide. i started with Nate's latest draft in bug #256693. more or less completely rewrote it, editing as i went. also added sections on other applications. left the ~arch stuff commented out for now, as we aren't supposed to document anything but the stable tree. this may change upon review, arch team stabilization, rainy weather, etc. also added the doc to our index and took it out of draft status. it's official!

Killed new-dev-training.xml per devrel's request on bug 255416. didn't bother with any languages but english, yet i am somehow remarkably guilt-free. translators get to pick up the pieces of the broken links, if any. time for an english party. which reminds me, devrel still has the party hats from LAST time...

add the xorg-server 1.5 migration guide to metadoc, in the desktop_install and upgrade categories. bug 265116. also added it to the 'additional resources' section of the xorg install guide, for good measure.

moved the ancient modular xorg docs out of the toplevel stuff. porting-to-modular-x is now just part of the gentoo development documentation, since there's no project specific doc category for X11. migrating-to-modular-x is now just part of the upgrade and desktop_install sections, just like the gnome upgrade guide.

Added new multipath guide from bug 233527. thanks to tsunam and all the guys from liquidustech who assembled the thing. and to rane for some xml cleanups. added to the sysadmin_specific documentation category.

As announced on the list (http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-doc/msg_e721be404c6a5ae8ce5c5bf02f45381c.xml), assume all arches are using the libata framework, so sd* everywhere. includes updating block device and partition descriptions. also added a new included file for boot config (starting sshd, hdparm, etc). synced up several wayward files, including sparc. also changed/dropped usage of some now useless keys, since everyone's using sd*. lots of intensive, invasive changes. and i never even used sed once.

added new openrc/baselayout-2 migration guide written by myself, cardoe, and uberlord. it's part of our sysadmin and upgrade categories. stabilization of the package will follow about 30 days from now, in the mean time, now it's hitting ~arch, so lots of our users will need to read this guide.

add printing howto to the rest of our desktop guides, since it's part of setting up a desktop. also, i just had to reconfigure my printer, and even i couldn't find the darned thing since it was buried in sysadmin_specific. :)

some edits for the gnome 2.22 upgrade guide as requested by leio. i hardly had to make any; those gnome guys are getting quite good at GuideXML, so kudos to them. :) also replaced the gnome 2.20 upgrade guide in our metadata.xml with the new guide.

release time. note that since this is beta1, the release dir and stage/media names have been adjusted accordingly. also, the handbooks are marked with a disclaimer=draft, so once the final is out, that will be removed and the release names adjusted. in the mean time, these are live. the beta is officially released. no, it's not april fools, but it is april 1st. :)

added new guide on how to update the handbook and all other related documentation for each new release. it is a huge task, and this document will assist those who have the unenviable job of trying to do the release, often single-handedly.

09:11 < dberkholz> are the overlays user/developer guides linked from somewhere in the docs? i couldn't find 'em
09:11 < dberkholz> and they should really be in the listing, if not part of the handbook
09:12 < dberkholz> users guide: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml

Moving the Modular X howto into /proj/en/desktop on request & bumping metadoc to point to new location -> <@spyderous> fox2mike: the main reasons are that both the migrating and the porting guides are still frequently changing, so i'd like to retain control of them

Happy New Year :) Adding modular X howto, initial version on sekretarz's request. Thanks to John Myers <electronerd at electronerdia dot net> for converting the original text to GuideXML and Josh_B for his consent ;) Bumping metadoc as needed.
